Ohio foster care youth and alumni have been reaching out to federal legislators to share recommendations regarding ETV, including:
Allowing states to award up to $12,000 per year to youth, to respond to the rising costs of attendance, including housing/food.
The federal bipartisan Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act would increase the maximum allowable value of an ETV voucher from $5,000 to $12,000 per year.
It would also require states to make reasonable efforts to make sure eligible youth are aware of ETV, and allow states to establish a grace period to give students time to get back on track rather than losing their ETV.
